Video processor manufacturer madVR Labs has announced the Envy Core, the latest addition to its madVR Envy lineup.
The product, which is half the size, half the weight, and half the price of the Envy Pro MK2, is available to pre-order from madVR Envy dealers including UK and Ireland distributor Invision.
Envy Core will be on display at CEDIA 2024 and is expected to begin shipping in Autumn 2024.
The Envy Core comes in a 2U form factor with madVR labs saying its lower cost brings madVR Envy processing to a broader audience.
It is suited for use with more modestly priced TVs and projectors, media rooms, and home cinema systems.
The Envy Core measures 343mm x 438mm x 104mm and weighs 9kg. This suits it to use in media rooms or home theatres where space is at a premium, or for mounting behind a TV or in a small cabinet. It uses the full power of an Nvidia 4060 GPU and runs ultra cool and quiet.
For an enhanced experience, the aftermarket Core Premium Package is available directly from madVR Labs at the introductory price of $995 (€923). This adds additional features and enhancements and doubles the warranty to four years from the original purchase date of the Envy Core. This provides lifetime coverage that is fully transferable, including the extended warranty, to a new owner if sold.
Envy Core users will receive regular Envy firmware updates. Some advanced future features will be available to those with the Core Premium Package and higher editions, while other advanced future features will be exclusive to the Envy Pro and Envy Extreme.
The Envy Core comes with a 2-year warranty on parts and labour. The warranty period starts from the date the Envy Core is purchased.
